Description

This classic beer cheese dip is easy to make with whatever type of beer and cheeses you love best!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (smooth or grainy)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) freshly-shredded cheese (I used half sharp cheddar, half smoked gouda)
  • sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the roux. Heat butter in a large saucepan or sauté pan over medium-high heat until melted.  Add flour, and whisk until completely combined.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients. Add in the beer, milk, Dijon, Worcestershire and smoked paprika. Whisk until smooth. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and almost reached a simmer. Reduce the heat to low. Add in the cheese one handful at a time and whisk until smooth.
  3. Season. Taste and season the dip with salt and pepper, as needed.
  4. Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy! (The dip will thicken a bit the longer it sets.)
